SUMMER PARK DAYS
Mondays, 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
Who: Families
Leader: Sara Vander Velde
Start Date: Mon., June 9
Location: Pleasant Park
Description: Each week, a family (or small group) will host an hour-long program for kids in the neighborhood. It can be at the park or a parking lot. We will use the themes of VBS and take a month to cover a theme. This allows families to serve in our neighborhood, and for visiting kids to begin exploring biblical themes in a consistent way.
BOLD & COURAGEOUS

Who: Co-ed adults

Description: “The Purple Book” is a Bible study guide designed to help believers know and apply the essential beliefs of Christianity. It will help you to gain a solid faith foundation that the enemy cannot dismantle! It will help you apply the Bible to your everyday life, and it will help you discover that your faith has true power to change lives! This is a pilot Life Group to prepare other ‘Purple Book’ groups to form. It will be part of our core curriculum in the New Believers/Baptism Track. This would be a great group for you if: 1) you want to grow in the essentials of faith, or 2) you want to be part of discipling others with this material in the future!

Did we mention there will be dessert??
